The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 553

Shao Jingwen didn't stay at Zhou's house for long, chatted with Zhou Chen for a while, and prepared to leave after talking about the situation.

"Bingkun, at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, you go directly to the publishing house to report, and I will wait for you at the door then."

"Mr. Shao, thank you so much. I will be there on time the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Chen expressed his sincere thanks to Shao Jingwen. They had only met twice, but Shao Jingwen's enthusiasm still moved him very much.

In this day and age, it is definitely not easy to find a satisfactory job.

Although Zhou Chen believed that there were ravines in his chest and heaven and earth in his belly, it would be futile if he didn't have the opportunity to display them.

A job in a publishing house may not be considered a noble job, but it is definitely freer and more profitable than being a worker.

"Then I'll go first."

"Teacher Shao, walk slowly."

Shao Jingwen talked to Zhou Chen and Li Suhua, and left happily.

Zhou Chen is happy to find a job, and he is also happy to recruit Zhou Chen. He believes that with Zhou Chen's ability, he will be able to shine in the future, so he has made up his mind. After Zhou Chen enters the publishing house, he must focus on Take care, don't let Zhou Chen go astray.

Li Suhua looked at the note in Zhou Chen's hand. This was the receipt for Zhou Chen to go to work in the publishing house. With this, he could go to the publishing house to report.

"Kun'er, Mom heard right just now, did you just say your job?"

Zhou Chen pulled Li Suhua into the back room and sat down on the kang, and said with a smile, "Mom, you heard me right, I found a job and went to Jiangliao Publishing House as a magazine editor."

"Work in a publishing house, but you haven't been assigned yet, why are you going to work in a publishing house?"

While Li Suhua was happy, she was also puzzled. Their family was a worker's family, and the publishing house was an institution for cultural people. But she couldn't even imagine that her old son, who didn't even graduate from junior high school, would work in a publishing house.

Zhou Chen explained: "Because we are a worker's family and have urban household registration, the street will assign us jobs, but the jobs assigned by the street are either factories or some other jobs. I don't like those jobs very much. So some time ago, I figured out a way on my own.”

"Ms. Shao is the editor-in-chief of the publishing house. He appreciates my talent, so he helps me and lets me work in the publishing house; Mom, now you don't have to worry about my job anymore. Go to the publishing house as an editor. It’s definitely much easier than going to a factory as a worker.”

Li Suhua said happily: "That's for sure, the publishing house, it's a place where cultural people gather, Kun'er, you are such a fucking old bastard, you actually have the ability to work in a publishing house."

"That's right, I'm your son, of course I have to be capable, Mom, in the future I'll make money to buy you delicious food and new clothes, and find you a filial daughter-in-law, you just wait and enjoy the blessings."

"Hehe, how old is Mom, what blessings do you enjoy, as long as you can work hard, Mom will be happy."

Even though she said that, Li Suhua still smiled very happily, but suddenly she remembered something, and asked: "Kun'er, you go to work in a publishing house, do you have a staff?"

Zhou Chen replied: "Of course, if you don't have a plan, whoever will go, Mom, just rest assured, your old lump has grown up, and you can tell right from wrong."

"Great, great."

Li Suhua has no culture, can't say any gorgeous sentences to express his excitement, so he said yes repeatedly.

After being happy for a while, she said again: "Kun'er, write to your father quickly and tell him the good news. Your father will be very happy if he knows that you have gone to work in the publishing house."

Zhou Chen said nonchalantly: "If my brother and sister went to work in the publishing house, he would be very happy. As for me, he must think that I can't do well. He is more worried than happy."

"Bullshit."

Li Suhua gave Zhou Chen a look, "Your father is not like what you said, the main reason is that you were too ignorant before, and you knew how to fool around all day long."

Zhou Chen didn't refute, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.

To be honest, among the three children of the Zhou family, he is the least favored one, not only because of his bad studies, but more because of his personality.

As the eldest son, Zhou Bingyi is sensible and obedient, while Zhou Rong, as the only daughter, is proficient in everything, and is very good at pleasing Zhou Zhigang.

And Zhou Bingkun's personality is very similar to Zhou Zhigang's, stubborn, especially stubborn;

He is a typical example of the kind of soft-hearted but not hard-working ones. He knows that he may have a problem, but he is unwilling to accept softness.

It is difficult to get along with people of the same personality, let alone father and son. This is also the main reason why Zhou Zhigang has a bad attitude towards Zhou Bingkun.

The former Zhou Bingkun didn't understand, but after Zhou Chen has lived for so many years, he can still see the problem between father and son very clearly.

"Mom, can our family get a bicycle ticket? The publishing house is a bit far from our house, and it's too slow to walk to and from get off work. I want to get a bicycle."

Bicycles are a big item in this era. Not only are they expensive, but you also need a bicycle ticket to buy them.

Zhou Zhigang was the only one working in the Zhou family before, and Li Suhua was just helping out on the streets to earn points, and the family didn't actually have much savings.

"Kun'er, you are right. How can you go to work in a publishing house without a bicycle? There is no bicycle at home, but Mom also knows a lot of people in the street office. I will go and see if I can apply for it tomorrow. Or ask someone to help you get a bike ticket."

Unlike Zhou Chen who thinks about the convenience of commuting to and from get off work, Li Suhua thinks about face. People in his generation are used to walking on legs, and it doesn't matter if they have a bicycle or not.

But my son is different. My youngest son is going to work in a publishing house soon. This is a very decent job. Looking at the entire optical film, which child has a better job than her youngest son?

No, none of them. The descendants of workers, if they work as cultural people, they will have face properly.

Such a good job must be accompanied by a bicycle, which can be more decent.

"Can you get it?"

Li Suhua said: "Leave this to Mom. Don't think too much about it. You will report it the day after tomorrow. You should prepare well. I still have cloth tickets at home. I'll see if I can get you a new dress in time. It’s different from the factory, and I don’t know if we will give you work clothes.”

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "I'm really not sure about this. In fact, it doesn't matter what you wear. The most important thing in work is ability."

"Okay, Mom knows it well. You do your own thing, and then you can go to work hard. Mom can do all the housework by herself."

Li Suhua's partiality to the eldest son and daughter before was actually somewhat influenced by Zhou Zhigang. Zhou Zhigang felt that the eldest son and daughter were promising, while the youngest son was not. So in comparison, he naturally didn't pay much attention to the youngest son.

Zhou Zhigang's eccentricity is actually very obvious. Let's take the marriage of three children in TV dramas as an example.

The eldest son's father-in-law's family despised him so much. After 20 years of marriage, neither of the two in-laws met, but he was just dissatisfied and didn't show more.

Let alone Zhou Rong, look at what she did and said. For a man who is more than ten years older, she even gave up her family. Come on.

For a daughter, this is definitely a treasonous thing.

But what did Zhou Zhigang do in the end?

Instead, he ran over thousands of miles, took the initiative to reconcile with his daughter, and just laughed it off when he heard the words of severing the relationship.

Let's look at how he treated Zhou Bingkun. Zhou Bingkun just mentioned Zheng Juan a little bit, but he was kicked down by him and yelled at him.

Why can he bear it when facing his eldest son and daughter, but not when facing his younger son?
It's nothing more than two words, eccentric.

Look at what Zhou Bingkun did for the family in the TV series. In the end, it is not as good as Zhou Rong who does nothing, and he is not so biased.

It has been like this for more than ten years. Zhou Chen doesn't think that Zhou Zhigang will change his mind if he finds a good job.

Zhou Zhigang is an extremely stubborn person, the kind of person who clearly knows that he is wrong, but in order to protect his father's image, he is unwilling to admit his mistakes.

However, his stubbornness is only aimed at the younger son, but he is extremely tolerant towards the eldest son and daughter.

After decades, isn't this a proper double-standard behavior?

In other families, the youngest child is favored more, but in Zhou's house, this phenomenon is reversed.

On the next day, Li Suhua cooked breakfast early in the morning, called Zhou Chen and went out, and didn't come back until noon.

"Kun."

"Hey."

Li Suhua happily took out a ticket: "Look what Mom brought you."

Zhou Chen opened his eyes and saw that it was a bill.

Before Zhou Chen could show anything, Li Suhua said the answer excitedly: "Bicycle ticket, look, mom got you a bicycle ticket. With this ticket, you can buy a bicycle. Are you happy?" .”

Zhou Chen has owned tens of millions of luxury cars, and a bicycle is not enough to make Zhou Chen happy, but in order to cooperate with Li Suhua, he still pretended to be very happy.

"Wow, mom, you are too good, how did you get this bicycle ticket, I heard that this thing is very difficult to get."

The old lady said triumphantly, "Your mother and I are street activists. It is not easy to get a bicycle ticket."

In fact, the origin of this bicycle ticket is not as simple as she said.

In order to get this bicycle ticket, she took out some food stamps and cloth tickets at home, and then exchanged this bicycle ticket with someone else, which is a bit of a loss.

"You keep the bicycle ticket, and you also take the money. You can buy a bicycle later, and you can ride to work tomorrow."

Zhou Chen saw Li Suhua took out a handful of zero bills, and couldn't help asking: "Mom, isn't this the living expenses that Dad left for you? Why did you give it all to me?"

Li Suhua: "I still have some. I heard that bicycles cost more than 100 yuan. We work in a publishing house. We can't buy bad ones, we need to buy famous brands; you don't have to worry about living expenses, your father will send them back regularly. Besides, you Isn't it also going to work soon, and we will be paid soon, and there are only two of us in our family, so we can't eat much."

"Mom, you're quite vain." Zhou Chen teased.

Li Suhua rolled his eyes at him, and said confidently: "You have gone to work in a publishing house, which is something to be proud of. Who else has a better job than your children? My son is promising, and I am a mother, of course." Be happy."

"As long as you are happy."

Bicycle tickets and banknotes were all ready. After dinner, Zhou Chen took Li Suhua to the Friendship Store to buy a bicycle.

Zhou Chen meant that he could just buy one, but when it arrived, Li Suhua insisted on buying a good one, so he finally bought a permanent brand bicycle, which cost more than 140.

In this era when the average salary is only in the teens and twenties, a bicycle worth nearly 150 is really a big deal.

Li Suhua was even happier than Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen drove her all the way back to the optical film.

"Stop, stop."

Li Suhua stopped Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen braked to a stop, and looked at Li Suhua with some doubts.

"what happened?"

Li Suhua said: "Walk back."

"Go back?"

Zhou Chen was a little confused, he had a bicycle, why did he walk back?

But he soon found out why.

"Sister, is this a bicycle that your family just bought? It's still a permanent brand."

"Yeah, it doesn't mean our Kun'er has found a job, so I thought about buying him a bicycle, so I can't walk to and from get off work every day."

"Yo, I remember that Bingkun is only 17 years old this year, has he been assigned a job?"

"No, our Kun'er didn't bother the street leaders, it wasn't the assigned job, it was the publishing house, Jiangliao Publishing House, who discovered that our Kun'er had materials to be an editor, so he recruited him to work in the publishing house. "

"The publishing house, that's a good state-run unit, but what does an editor do? Is there a staff?"

"Of course there is an organization. Editing is the job of writing articles and poems."

"Oh, it's terrible, isn't that a cultural person, sister, you are so lucky, your eldest son and daughter are so sensible, and now Bingkun has found a good job, you just wait and enjoy the blessing."

"It's all about the child's self-sufficiency. As a mother, I am uneducated and can't teach anything."

"Mom Bingkun, the bicycle I just bought, oh my god, it's so beautiful."

"It's okay, it's for Kun'er to ride to and from get off work."

"Hey, Bingkun is at work too."

"Yeah, the children have grown up in a blink of an eye, and our Kun'er is working in a publishing house."

"The publishing house, that's a good unit. Since I was a child, I could tell that Bingkun is different from us rough people. Just look at his appearance, and you can tell he is educated."

"........."

Along the way, Li Suhua would stop and chat with people whenever someone spoke to him. Zhou Chen smiled apologetically the whole time, feeling that the muscles on his face were stiff from laughing.

Now he finally understood why Li Suhua insisted on getting out of the car and walking home when he arrived at the border of the optical film, because he co-authored it to show off.

It wasn't a very long way, and I walked for nearly an hour in a daze, and when I was about to arrive home, I ran into another acquaintance head-on.

"Mother Bingkun."

"Hey, sister, what a coincidence."

Of the two people walking towards them, one Zhou Chen had seen before was Aunt Qiao who had been to his house, and the other was a girl in a cotton-padded jacket, Qiao Chunyan.

After seeing Zhou Chen, Qiao Chunyan greeted him very warmly: "Brother Bingkun."

Zhou Chen replied calmly: "Chunyan."

Qiao Chunyan is one of the most outstanding supporting actresses in this drama in the world, and she has a lot of roles.

In the play, Qiao Chunyan's character is free and easy, bold and unrestrained, and willing to help others, but in the end, she becomes a bit black, and becomes a selfish villain who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

In fact, such a change is not abrupt. Some people can only share adversity, but not wealth.

Qiao Chunyan has such characteristics. When she is better than others and lives better than others, she can continue to give and help wholeheartedly.

But once she saw that others were living better than her and her interests were touched, she immediately turned her face.

As for the things she did in the later stage of the TV series, that is, the TV series, if they were put in reality, how could she be forgiven.

But at this time Qiao Chunyan was only a young girl, a few months younger than Zhou Chen.

Qiao Chunyan didn't see Zhou Chen's indifference, but happily walked to Zhou Chen's side, trying to hold Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen avoided him calmly.

Qiao Chunyan didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Brother Bingkun, I haven't seen you out to play very much recently, what have you been doing recently?"

The photogram is only this big, and the two families are relatively close to each other, so she doesn't see Zhou Chen when she looks down, so she feels strange if she hasn't seen Zhou Chen for more than a month.

"It's nothing, I'm reading at home recently."

"Hey, brother Bingkun, you're not lying to me, are you, you can still read?"

Qiao Chunyan immediately laughed disdainfully. Few of them could read books. She used to go to school with Zhou Bingkun, so she naturally knew what level Zhou Bingkun was.

Li Suhua was not happy after hearing this, she said proudly: "Chunyan, you don't know, our Kun'er is indeed reading at home recently, sister, you don't know, Bingkun has already found a job gone."

Chunyan's mother looked puzzled: "Bingkun was assigned? Why didn't I hear about it?"

She works in the street and is very well informed, but she has never heard that Zhou Chen has been assigned a job.

Li Suhua was even more proud when he heard the words: "Our Bingkun is not an assigned job, nor does he go to work in the factory. He works at Jiangliao Publishing House, and he will report tomorrow morning. No, it's to make it easier for him to go to and from get off work. , I just bought a bicycle, permanent brand."

The relationship between the two is very good, but it is also because of the good relationship that Li Suhua wants to show off.

"Hey, is it true or not?"

Both Chunyan's mother and Qiao Chunyan couldn't believe it. If it was Zhou Bingyi or Zhou Rong who went to work in the publishing house, they would still believe it a little bit.

But Zhou Bingkun, are you kidding me?

Seeing their questioning, Li Suhua immediately became unhappy: "Sister, I can still lie to you, Bingkun, take out that note and show it to your aunt."

Zhou Chen felt helpless: "Mom, I didn't bring the note, and I'm at home."

Chunyan's mother looked at Zhou Chen suspiciously: "Bingkun, is what your mother said true? Are you really going to work in the publishing house tomorrow?"

She is an activist working in the street, and she knows a little more about Jiangliao Publishing House than others. You can tell from the name that this is a key state-owned unit in the province, and it is also engaged in cultural work. It's more decent than a coolie.

Feudal society has only been in the past few decades, and the status of scholars is still very high in the eyes of ordinary people.

Zhou Chen replied: "Well, auntie, what my mother said is true."

"Brother Bingkun, you are too powerful."

Qiao Chunyan had a loud voice, she stared at Zhou Chen with wide eyes, and her eyes were full of splendor.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Luck, good luck, Mom, let's go back."

Li Suhua saw the expression she wanted to see from the expression of the old sister, and she was extremely proud.

"Sister, let's go back first. Bingkun is going to work tomorrow, and I have to help him clean up. After all, it's the child's first day at work, so I need to make a good impression on the leader."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mama Bingkun, then go back and get ready."

Chunyan's mother said goodbye with a smile on her face, but after Zhou Chen and Li Suhua moved away, her smile instantly subsided, revealing a gloomy look.

"It's really weird. That boy Bingkun was often beaten by his father because of his studies when he was a child. How could he go to work in a publishing house?"

Qiao Chunyan was also very puzzled: "Yes, when Brother Bingkun was in school, his academic performance was not as good as mine."

Chunyan's mother looked at her daughter, and suddenly a thought came to her mind, if this Zhou Bingkun was really promising, wouldn't it be...

Zhou Chen believed that the news of him going to work in a publishing house would spread throughout the optical film before tomorrow.

The power of gossip is terrifying.

The time came to the second day, Zhou Chen wore clean clothes, rode a bicycle, and set off from the optical film.

"Bingkun, are you going to work in a publishing house?"

"The bike is not bad, Bingkun."

"Bingkun, you have won honor for our optical film, do it well."

"........."

Today's neighbors in the neighborhood are obviously too enthusiastic. When Zhou Chen went out before, although there were people saying hello, that was just saying hello.

But today, all of them greeted each other with smiles, teased, and even flattered them a little, which was completely different from the previous attitude.

Zhou Chen quickly drove away from the optical film and rode for a long time before arriving at Jiangliao Publishing House.

The working environment of Jiangliao Publishing House is a small three-story building. The last time it was just outside, this time when I entered the interior, the senses are different.

"Bingkun, here."

As soon as Zhou Chen parked his bicycle, he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Shao Jingwen.

"Teacher Shao, are you waiting for me?"

Shao Jingwen said with a smile: "Of course, today is your first day at work, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the familiar environment. Come with me."

Under the leadership of Shao Jingwen, Zhou Chen first went to meet the president of the publishing house.

Originally, as a new employee, he didn't need to meet the top leader of the publishing house, but the president wanted to meet Zhou Chen, so he asked Shao Jingwen to bring him over.

The president's surname is Wang. He is in his fifties and looks quite kind. After seeing Zhou Chen, he asked some questions, and Zhou Chen responded calmly.

President Wang was very satisfied with Zhou Chen's performance, and after chatting for a while, he asked Shao Jingwen to take Zhou Chen to familiarize himself with the job.
